This post is for #1LinerWeds and I have one thing to say:
Please enjoy this lyric video of Mandisa’s “At All Times“!
That’s what’s in My Rattled Cage, thanks for stopping by and thank you to all who have served and are serving in all branches of the United States Military for the protection of our FREEDOMS!!!
For today’s #1LinerWeds I want to remind everybody “WE ALL BLEED THE SAME” in this time of strife and unrest in the United States as well growing globally due to the racial inequality of people of color by those few police officers that choose to use excessive force including the US Attorney General William Barr who gave the order to use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the PEACEFUL protestors from Lafayette Park across from the White House so the current occupant could have a photo op.
Here we are at the letter “K” in the 2020 #AtoZChallenge. So, as I continue my musical journey through the alphabet, I am sharing music that is in my extensive Apple Music collection.
Today I have chosen such an appropriate song for the crazy times going on in this world. Mandisa’s Keep Getting Up is such an inspiring reminder that even when we fall or when life is not going the way we want, we just have to get back up and keep going.
That’s what’s in My Rattled Cage, thanks for stopping by!!
Linda has given us the prompt “joint” for this week’s #SoCS. Wow, I could go so many place with this word some would be appropriate and some others might not. With my #AtoZChallenge2020 theme this year being music from my extensive Apple Music playlist, I have chosen to add some JOY to this JOINT!!
I have chosen two completely different songs. The first is Mandisa’s Joy, Unspeakable and the second one is For King and Country’s Joy.
The reason I have gone this route is because with all the craziness of COVID-19 and the isolation of having to be sheltered in place other than essential workers and going to get the essentials, I believe that we can all use a little or a lot of joy in whatever joint we are in. If you have a joint or two that are hurting maybe these songs will still put some pep in your step. Perhaps even if you wanted to or needed to for medical purposes, which I have never liked the stuff – I had problems with other things, perhaps you may have a joint – which may bring you joy.
Either way, I hope you enjoy these two songs. You can find the lyrics by clicking on the title. That’s what’s in My Rattled Cage, thanks for stopping by!!
For today’s#AtoZChallenge2020, I have chosen a song that definitely expresses how I feel as I come up on a new 90 days of sobriety. Tomorrow I will celebrate 90 days and without picking up a 90 day chip until after this craziness is over. I am so happy with where I am and I just need to keep doing the work. After the crazy month of December and the harsh early beginning of January – I had to really make the decision that I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I hope you enjoy this song by Mandisa, Back to Life.
That’s what’s in My Rattled Cage, thanks for stopping by!!
With my God’s help and the love of family friends, I will ALWAYS be VICTORIOUS!!!!!
If You could send a burning bush to Moses
Lead Your people home through a parted sea
Give a boy the strength
to defeat Goliath
I know You will always take care of me
CHORUS
With You on my side
I am victorious
With You on my side
I’ve got nothing to fear
So I can walk through this valley
With confidence
Knowing You will deliver me
CHORUS
If You could raise the dead bones of Lazarus
If You could feed five-thousand
With a couple fish and a loaf of bread
And in the middle of a stormy night
You can walk on water
I know, I know, I know
nothing’s out of Your hands
CHORUS
If You could pull me out of my sin
And give me new life within
And keep all Your promises
And Your Word is true then
I don’t have to be afraid
I know this is the day you made
So no matter what comes my way
CHORUS

This post is very simple as Mandisa so plainly reminds me in her song God began a work in me and he will continue to work on me because I am just UNFINISHED!!!
I am so excited that today my journey begins to a mouth full of new pearly whites by having my remaining teeth removed, but enough about me!!
“O” is for OVERCOMER!!! Thriving, not just surviving with HIV/AIDS for over 22 years, being bipolar and dealing with off and on bouts of depression and of course my issues with chronic relapses and return to recovery – I know that YES I AM AN OVERCOMER!!!!
